My husband and I just bought our first house – such an exciting milestone – and so for the first time, we are also building our first Sukkah for Sukkot. And just to be clear, my husband is in charge of building the Sukkah and I am in charge of filling it with delicious food. When I started to plan our holiday menu I wanted to make something that is easy to carry outside, can be made in one pot and not too much work, as we continue to get settled in our new home.
While temperatures here in New England have yet to drop too drastically (not that I am complaining) the autumn vegetables have already started appearing at my local farmer’s markets and were calling my name as I worked on this dish.
Pumpkin and classic, beef chili is not only delicious and warming, but can turn into a “top your own chili bar” for your friends and family. I keep a paleo diet so I left out the beans from the actual recipe and instead offer them as one of the toppings people can choose. Other possible toppings include sliced avocado or guacamole, scallions, chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, green olives, toasted pumpkin seeds or cilantro.
